Lake Powell for UEA!!










We decided to go to lake Powell for the UEA weekend. We left on Wednesday and arrived after dark. We slowly made our way to the Houseboat which belonged to our friends, Kris and Greg Decker. Greg had made it to the Lake before us and had found a spot with the houseboat. Thanks to the full moon we arrived safely. The next morning we got up early to take a boat ride and as we were headed out of the canyon we hit a mountain, as I call it, under the water and ruined our prop and rudder which limited our speed at 5 miles per hour. Bob dropped us off at the houseboat and he and Greg immediately left to try and find another prop but no luck. Bob was able to find someone to hammer out the tangled prop as much as possible but left our boat with a top speed of 10 MPH. The kids still were able to wake surf. We also took the kids to Forgotten Canyon to see the Indian ruins. I had never been to Lake Powell and I was blown away by its beauty. Very few times in my life have I seen anything so spectacular. If you have never been to Lake Powell, you should add it to your list of things to do.
